It was published in the Columbus paper earlier this summer that the group had 
decided, after a 25 year fight (my comment), to concentrate on traction and 
dispose of all the steam.  The article said further that the locomotive, a 
4-8-0 I believe, was being sent east to the Ohio Central where they have the shops 
to rebuild steam locomotives.  The RPO, pullman, and coach were going to 
Dennison Ohio for display.  Another car or two would be scrapped on site.  
Then, the word from some Columbus fans was that the Ohio Central backed out 
of buying the locomotive.   Who is on first with that group.

There was a PCC there about a year ago, well painted on the outside but no 
knowledge of its overall condition.  That group keeps their place locked up 
tight and even when you hear voices inside their station they won't answer the 
door to a knock.
